Last Appointment coming up Anxious but yet scared looking for a mentor



Recommended Posts

My last appointment with the NUT and the surgeon is coming up in 2 weeks. Then submitting to Insurance. Preop labs of Vitamins done and fortunately everything was perfect!!!! I am getting excited but also a little comprehensive. Worried about the surgery since I have never had any surgery before. Worried this won't work for me. What if I don't lose weight??? Any inputs would be appreciated.

They are making your stomach much smaller, so you will feel full a lot sooner. No question it will work for you.

Thanks, I truly hope so. I already have my Protein Shake but need to get a clear Protein to add to Water. I have a great support team including a new fiancé who wants me to be healthy not just a smaller size. But so worried about this. Most diets have failed for me, but then again I guess that's why I am going for the surgery LOL

You're in good company here!

I drank the Isopure ready-to-drink (RTD) bottles of clear Protein for 3 days after surgery. The large bottles have 40 grams of Protein

You are so lucky to have the support in going through this journey it is going to help you out so much. Nerves are to be expected, but you just have to have faith and go into it saying im taking my life back, because that is ultimately what this whole process is about. good for you finding Protein supplements ahead of time I should have followed through on that. It is a hard journey im not gonna lie, but once you are healed it is completely worth it. Best of luck to you and your new life let me know if you have any questions id be happy to help :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
